Our client Kieran and his body transformation
Every program begins with an assessment—not assumptions. Built on your anatomy, biomechanics, nutrition, and progressive overload. Designed for professionals who expect long-term results.
Anyone notice how gyms these days focus on all the things that look great but do not matter? Infrared saunas, cold plunges, AI coaching. Why did you join a gym? To get in shape, meaning to build muscle or lose fat, or both. If eucalyptus towels and cold plunges got you in shape, every spa would be filled with elite athletes. None of that will change your body. Here is what will:
Led by an Olympian, championship bodybuilder, NYU instructor, and bestselling author, every coach is trained to the Wiedenbach standard—not simply hired with a weekend certification.
We went all the way, traveling to expos in Europe to see what is out there. Then we ordered machines from the UK and Asia, made to our specifications to achieve the most muscular tension per exercise, giving you the best results.
Muscle responds to tension—not entertrainment. Every exercise, range of motion, and progression is selected to maximize results safely and efficiently.
Our clients are executives, professionals, athletes—in short, anyone who wants serious results. No gimmicks, no unnecessary packages—just intelligent coaching and lasting change.

The coaches are very attentive, take the time to understand your goals, and create personalized training plans to help you achieve them. It’s always fun and motivating to train with my coach. The facilities are also amazing. They have some machines I’ve never seen at other gyms, and they’re especially effective at isolating and targeting specific muscle groups. I’ve only been training here for about three months, but I can already see noticeable progress in my physique. I’d definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about building muscle and improving their physique!Posted on Google Dr. TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE IN NYC TO TRAIN!!! The energy and positivity will draw you in. The level of education and knowledge of excercise physiology by Maik and his elite team of Pro trainers is unparalleled and will keep you going! This gym will make you look forward to working out. It is evident, the owner, Maik Wiedenbach puts his heart and soul into this operation. I was trained by Ana, and her systematic and results driven approach will inspire you to keep coming back. She is the BEST I have ever worked with and NOBODY comes close! If you are serious about learning how to exercise PROPERLY, and want to get over the hump and see results…. This gym lives up to the hype with their pro trainers and immaculate facilities. These pros are about it!Posted on Google Rosa LiuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started training with Maik in February with a DEXA scan showing 31.2% body fat with only 81lbs of lean mass. I worked with Maik twice per week (with 2 travel weeks). And by first week of May, only 13 weeks later, my latest DEXA tells the story better than I can: I went down to 22.0% body fat, with 12 lbs of fat lost and 11 lbs of lean mass gained. My body completely changed: i have visible abs, defined arms, and my waist went from 72cm to 66cm. The results exceeded my expectations coming in, it was honestly crazy. Maik built my program from scratch, and his years of expertise provide incredible insights- he would adjust the program based on my condition the day of. I have full body training with real progressive overload, nutrition dialed to my exact needs, and adjustments every step of the way. For events, he programmed a depletion and carb loading cycle that had me peaking at exactly the right moment. The results speak for themselves. Best investment I've made in my fitness and I would highly recommend Maik for anyone considering personal training.Posted on Google P. Sean GuptaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Maik and his all star team a couple months ago and have been working with Ana on a weekly basis and have finally seen progress and results. Super professional and serious place!Posted on Google Adriana OrtegaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Maik on and off for more than 10 years for online training and nutrition coaching. He takes the time to understand my goals and consistently follows through with personalized guidance. His tailored training plans have helped me become stronger, leaner, and more accountable to myself. I appreciate that he not only helps me achieve results but also equips me with the tools and knowledge to maintain them long-term. Whenever I’m ready to pursue a new goal, I return with confidence knowing I’m in good hands. I highly recommend him.Posted on Google Tim AntonelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Strongly recommend. Great facilities, great trainers and convenient location. Hilly is an excellent trainer, has super flexible scheduling options and always makes the most challenging and creative workouts.Posted on Google NBTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maik is the man, and one of his trainers (JM) got me in the best shape of my life! Do it!Posted on Google Max MashaalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team here is incredible! Only good things to say about my experience!

No successful executive would run a company on motivation alone. Some days you’re inspired, most days you’re not. The business still has to function, which is why you build systems, processes and accountability.
Then, strangely, the same people approach their health completely differently:
I’ll train when I have time.
I’ll get back to the gym.
I’ll eat better next week.
I’ll get serious after this project.
I’m only fifteen pounds away from abs. (Make that forty.)
That’s wishful thinking, not a strategy.
If your training only happens when you feel like it, you’re asking motivation to do work a system should be doing. The goal isn’t more motivation. You clearly have plenty, or you wouldn’t have got this far. It’s replacing motivation with habits and process, so progress keeps happening when the week goes sideways.
The executives who stay lean, strong and energetic into their fifties and sixties don’t have more discipline than everyone else. They apply the same thinking to their bodies that made them successful in business.
Your body isn’t separate from your career. It’s what you live in, twenty-four hours a day.
